I'm not happy with this image because I couldn't balance the colors the way I wanted.
I spent several hours trying to improve the palette but I didn't like the results I got.
I'll try again later, for sure.

Lower's nebula (Sh2-261) is found on the outermost edge of our Milkyway between the Orion and Perseus arm and resembles the human brain
Is a large faint region of predominantly ionized hydrogen. Also, there are several dark nebulae in this field.
